Uzbekistan and Wildberries set out a Tashkent-region logistics complex with a 2027 to 2028 delivery horizon
Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade has signed an investment agreement with Wildberries for a Class A logistics complex in Tashkent Region. The announced 180,000-square-metre, US$140 million project is planned for 2027 to 2028, offering a defined reference point for warehouse development, fulfilment systems, packaging, equipment, logistics technology, seller services and workforce-planning research.
Verified facts
- Invest Uzbekistan reported on 7 October 2026 that the Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade signed an investment agreement with Wildberries after the Uzbekistan–Russia Council of Regions meeting in Fergana. The notice describes a planned Class A logistics complex, not an operating facility or a live commercial service.
- The official notice states that the marketplace plans to implement the project in Tashkent Region in 2027 to 2028, with 180,000 square metres of space and an estimated value of US$140 million. It does not provide an approved design, construction timetable, permit record, operating model, tenant plan, warehouse allocation, commercial tariff or seller-access conditions.
- Independent reporting by Interfax corroborates the agreement and describes the facility as part of a broader Central Asia logistics ambition attributed to the company. That reporting is useful operating context, but it does not verify the status or commercial availability of the specific Tashkent project.
- The Eurasian Development Bank’s 2025 warehouse-real-estate analysis identifies Uzbekistan as a market with a limited existing fulfilment base and announced expansion plans. It provides regional context for demand and supply research, not a forecast of the Wildberries asset’s completion, occupancy, throughput or commercial outcome.
Horizon view
The agreement gives logistics and consumer-business specialists a concrete asset to monitor rather than a generic e-commerce story. The relevant opportunity lanes are distinct: warehouse and material-handling systems; building, energy and safety services; fulfilment, returns and packaging; data, payments and seller tools; local workforce and training; and export-oriented product onboarding. Each requires a named project or operating counterpart and an approved access route, but the geography, proposed scale and delivery window now make account mapping more disciplined.
Commercial implication and next step
Build an asset-and-operator file before proposing a product or service: land and sponsor identity; design, construction and commissioning stage; accountable developer, contractor, operator and procurement signatory; technical requirements for building systems, automation, safety, cold chain, security, IT and energy; seller, merchant, customs, product-compliance, payments, data and returns roles; local staffing and service model; insurance, warranty, acceptance and maintenance route; current purchasing or partner pathway; price, tax, currency, invoicing and collection controls. Treat the 2027 to 2028 horizon as time to establish evidence and capability, not as confirmation of immediate facility access or a marketplace channel.
What to verify before acting
The sources do not establish land rights, permits, final investment decision, construction start, asset completion, operator appointment, warehousing capacity, tenant access, marketplace listing, seller onboarding, customs process, fulfilment availability, delivery performance, tariff, buyer demand, payment, contract or transaction. This is not Uzbekistan investment, construction, logistics, e-commerce, consumer, data, customs, tax, insurance or legal advice.
